Nice project. One quick thought: Any crasher that relies on gc.get_referrers() should not be considered a bug. The codebase should not be convoluted, complexified, obfucated, altered, touched, or slowed down just prevent perverse, sadistic safe-cracking using this tool. The docs are clear on this subject: "Care must be taken when using objeccts returned by get_referrers() becasue some of them could still be under construction and hence in a temporarily invalid state. Avoid using get_referrers() for any purpose other than debugging."
